WAILUKU, Maui — Chelsea Clinton was greeted today by hula dancers,
cheerleaders and a crowd of 200 Maui residents during a campaign rally for
her mother, Sen. Hillary Clinton.
The younger Clinton was accompanied by state Sen. President Colleen
Hanabusa, co-chair of Sen. Clinton's Hawai'i campaign, and all three of
Maui's state senators: J. Kalani English, Shan Tsutsui and Roz Baker.
The crowd crammed into the courtyard of the David K. Trask Jr. Building in
Wailuku, headquarters of the Hawaii Government Employees Association, which
has endorsed Clinton.
In brief remarks, Clinton reminded supporters of the unexpected importance
of the state's Democratic Party caucus and urged them to attend one of eight
caucus meetings to be held Tuesday night on Maui and Lana'i.
Following the Maui event, Clinton returned to Honolulu and was due to leave
the state tonight.
